You & @UKLabour have been in total control of this issue for 18+ months? 40-50% of the useful time in this Parliament is now gone. People are trapped. £hundreds of bns capital trapped. When will u demonstrate the same vigour u showed in opposition on this & deliver on ur promise?

How it started and how it’s going 👇 @mtpennycook @michaelgove
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen delays, the government has not been able to publish the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill before the Commons Christmas Recess. My letter to @FloEshalomi making clear we expect to be in a position to do so early in the new year 👇🏻

@HMTreasury to leaseholders: “contracts are contracts incl. the exploitative ones you signed on our Help to Buy scheme you can’t get mortgages on anymore.”🥲 HMT to investors: “We will protect your returns from @10DowningStreet policy, even when the investments are exploitative.”
The Prime Minister seems strangely low-energy about ending one of the biggest scams in the UK today: leasehold. It wouldn’t just make citizens happier; it would also unleash real economic growth. So who’s whispering in his ear? Corporate lobbyists?

Building more of this? Because that’s exactly what it’ll be. Until you fix the foundations you won’t be fixing anything!

The tried and tested @mhclg @10DowningStreet approach to *finally* solving the Leasehold and Building Safety Crisis. Meanwhile, this is real life with real consequences! We’ve had enough! @Keir_Starmer @AngelaRayner @mtpennycook please get on with it!

1.5m new homes BUT @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour priorities miss LEASEHOLD. Innocent folk literally trapped in their homes. We know @10DowningStreet @mhclg know this, so they either don’t care or can’t help. Which? Perhaps they believe FHers DO have God given right to exploit? Wrong!

It is very clear to me. Loyalty to long suffering leaseholders will be rewarded at the 📮 and richly deserved! 🐾 @mtpennycook @UKLabour @FreeLeasehlders

🇬🇧 deserves better than this. Not even 5 months in to @UKLabour “insurgent government of delivery” for “working people”, what do we have? ✅ More of the same ✅ A bunch of broken/ropey promises ✅ F all delivered ✅ Innocent folk extorted in their homes ✅ Democracy for sale
We need to drain the swamp. The Tories were kicked out for being too close to vested interests and aloof to normal people’s concerns. This sort of thing leads to collapse in public trust in democracy, especially when you put clear action in the manifesto and King’s Speech.

.@UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @mtpennycook look to be on that track. And this was an open goal for crying out loud. Gove teed them up with both LAFRA and gaps to be filled. Everyone in violent agreement. Optics are shocking. What happened to insurgent gov of delivery? None to be seen
